It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness of pain: of strength and freedom. The beauty of disappointment and never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of nature and everlasting beauty of monotony.

The end comes when we no longer talk with ourselves. It is the end of genuine thinking and the beginning of the final loneliness.
